Martin H.
Freeman And His Life At Liberia College:
A Study In Irony
“Martin H. Freeman and his Life at Liberia College: A Study in Irony” by Colin Alfred, presented in 2011 as his senior thesis in History at Castleton College.
This study examines the life of Martin Freeman, who provided an eyewitness account of colonization in Liberia. A black man, he taught at Liberia College, becoming its president in the later eighteen hundreds.
This is the story of his life, “providing an eye witness account of colonization which ironically brought oppression to the indigenous Liberian population”.
A well written scholarly work, worthy of attention.
